The application creates $2$ threads: one

increments the global variable someValue a number of times $($COUNT$),$ and another decrements

someValue the same number of times. Compile and run P$1.$c and answer the following questions:

a$.$ What should the final value for someValue be$?$ What does the program print as the final

value for someValue?

b$.$ Increment COUNT to $100,1000,10000,$ and compile and run the code. In each case, what

does the program print as the final value for someValue? Explain the reason behind the

discrepancy in the output.

c$.$ Update the code to solve the problem.
